Cars for Sale

There are a couple of minor updates regarding electric cars for sale. First, Muni 1150, the ex-St. Louis Public Service PCC located in Le Grand, California, has officially been listed for sale in an online auction that concludes toward the end of October.

Judging from the photos, the car is in remarkably good shape. Other than the dust and dirt, it could have just pulled in from a revenue trip. It's quite the time capsule. With luck, this will go somewhere that can continue to keep it stored inside, though given the glut of PCCs, car 1150 will probably be fortunate to be purchased for preservation at all.

And in other news, it was pointed out to me that New Haven 4106, the only surviving "pre-Washboard" MU car from that railroad, has supposedly been sold. At least, that's what the Ozark Mountain listing says. I don't have any recent information on this car, including who might have bought it or when, so any updates would be appreciated. Although it's far - very far - from complete as an MU car, it's certainly an historic piece.
